Appropriate, if ironic: lawmakers around the country are being bitten by the same lack of privacy so many of them advocate for the lowly citizenry. Not through wiretapping, but through their emails.

Emails and text-messages have now brought down one of the most powerful prosecutors in the country and may soon lead to criminal charges against the Mayor of Detroit. Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal resigned this week after his emails were revealed in a police abuse case. In the meantime, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has appealed the release of his text messages in a case involving police whistleblowers.
